Oh I do.....that's your problem, when the repubs had control, it was all their fault.....however, when the dems had complete control it was the prez's fault.

They are trying to minimize the political damage it does to their own rhetoric that claims Dems are weak on terrorism.

But why are Dems hyping his death?

It was illegal, he was unarmed and had given up, it was a murder of someone under the control of US forces.

If you want to ignore all the lies about his killing and all the laws broken then don't complain when the GOP does it when they are in power.

And they are going to do it even more so now. Obama has moved the goal post of acceptable law breaking far over to the right.

Credit to ST6!
Truth be known. It was an illegal hit squad. They killed an unarmed man and unarmed women in cold blood. Had it been a nation that respected the law, he would given a fair trial and then sentenced to death. He was under their control.

Norway, has been a great example of this ethic with their trial of Brevik.

It's just shows how debased and rotting this country is. Liberals having to prove how tough they are by bragging about cold blooded murders.

I'd rate the political sleeziness of the the left and right mentality here in the US on par with the Ukraine or Belarus. It's that primal and totally unconcerned with the Rule of Law.

It is OBAMA who is cheapening and politicizing the killing of bin laden, not the GOP. They are just calling him out on his unseemly, disgusting ad and "celebration" of the event. But the Left is also telling him the ad and his transparent effort to politicize it is wrong as well. Not everyone on the Left, but some definitely are.

Video at the link.

Obama in 2006:

Quote:
“And let me tell you something else I’ve had enough of: I’ve had enough of using terrorism as a wedge issue in our politics,†Obama told the crowd.

You know, I – I don’t know about you, but I think the war against terrorism isn’t supposed to crop up between September and November of even numbered years, and yet that seems to be the pattern.
Except.....when you're doing it.

Oh, how selective and short the Left's memory is.

From 2007 to 2009, the dems had congress and Bush had the WH.

From 2009 - 2011, the dems had it ALL, a filibuster proof majority in the Senate, a huge majority in the House and the WH...in which they proceeded to shove the stimulus, obamacare, Dodd-Frank, student loans down our throats.

They OWN it.

Seal Team 6 and the CIA conduct covert operations. You won't see President Obama giving them a medal on CNN. They were recognized behind closed doors.

If the Osama operation had went bad (Seals Killed, women and children killed, no capture or kill of Bind Laden), President Obama would have been criticized and deservedly so. Intelligence is never 100%. Obama took a risk and the operation was successful and he deserves some credit.

Obama got in impotent, smelly has-been who spent his days hiding in a safe house watching porn on a black and white tv.

Reading this thread, I am reminded of the #1 criticism that conservatives had about Bill Clinton (that didn't involve his penis): That he didn't pull the trigger on bin Laden when he had the chance.
